Dang it, something has reset my browser to Real Player and I can't play any mp3s. All I get is a half-loaded Real Player page. Where do I get rid of it?

RealPlayer does that. Actually, after I rebuilt my laptop for the Nth time now, RealPlayer is one of the things that I now refuse to install. It likes to totally take over and it it does NOT play nice with others.

But... if you open Windows Explorer (not IE... the Windows Explorer) and then go to "Tools / Folder options" then click on the "file types" tab... you'll see the place where you can set the program to use to open certain file types.

Download the mp3 to your desktop, and when it is there, right click it and select "open with..." should give you a list, and a checkbox to "Always choose this program for this kind of file"
